index.html   29) <p>

index.html   30) Tor is a toolset for a wide range of organizations and people that want

index.html   31) to improve their safety and security on the Internet. Using Tor can help
index.html   32) you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH,

index.html   33) and other applications that use the TCP protocol. Tor also provides a
index.html   34) platform on which software developers can build new applications with
index.html   35) built-in anonymity, safety, and privacy features.

en/index.wml 39) Tor aims to defend against <a href="<page overview>">traffic analysis</a>,

en/index.wml 40) a form of network surveillance that threatens personal

en/index.wml 41) anonymity and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships,
en/index.wml 42) and state security.

en/index.wml 43) Communications are bounced around a distributed network of servers called
en/index.wml 44) onion routers, <a
en/index.wml 45) href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#WhatProtections">protecting you</a>
en/index.wml 46) from websites that build profiles of your interests,
en/index.wml 47) local eavesdroppers that read your data or learn what sites you visit,
en/index.wml 48) and even the onion routers themselves</a>.

index.html   49) </p>
index.html   50) 
index.html   51) <p>
index.html   52) Tor's security is improved as its user base grows and as

en/index.wml 53) more people volunteer to run servers.  Please consider

en/index.wml 54) <a href="<page volunteer>">volunteering your time</a> or

en/index.wml 55) <a href="<cvssandbox>tor/doc/tor-doc-server.html">volunteering your
en/index.wml 56) bandwidth</a>.

index.html   57) And remember that this is development code—it's not a good idea to rely

index.html   58) on the current Tor network if you really need strong anonymity.
